Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

-(x - 8) = 2

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Divide both sides by -1:                    x - 8 = -2
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                        x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

  1. Substitute in x:                    -(6 - 8) = 2
  2. Subtract:                              -(-2) = 2
  3. Multiply:                               2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.
